The Aerialist

This film is a sequel to The Gymnast from 2006. Dreyer Weber is back in the role of Jane who now, 14 years later, travels around and directs aerial acrobatics. She's coming back to her hometown to put on a new show. Her ex-husband has just died and she gets her friend, Serena, to drive her to the house. It was Serena she left her husband in favor of in the Gymnast. And so there are many things that show back in the past, but there are also new girlfriends and friends. For me, it was wonderful to see these characters again.

I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline.The twist was heart moving.It shows through perseverance we can do anything.The ensemble of actors was perfect.It"s always a joy seeing Dreya on the big screen.You won't regret it.💕

I loved the way the rich story unfolded and wove the subplots. Exquisitely directed, edited and acted. The diverse cast is wonderful and the behind the scenes look at the pop industry is fascinating and revealing. A brilliant portrayal by Dreya Weber, who leads a family of performers threatened by greed, ageism and injury. Highly recommend to those who appreciate mature complex filmmaking.

For me to swallow in one gulp. its a film about a show dancers, a troop called the family, a well driven troop of dancers, till the new instructor/director comes, as a part of a cutting budgets twist from the company running the shows everything is turned litterally upside down, and the crew members quits one by one like a diurnal fly, rather than getting fired.

its not a film with suspence and fun, its too dramatic to be that, but its so full of aerobatics, done by true aerialists, and for that reason the standards of true acting are at the average level. but what they do in the ropes, strings, lyras and cloths are just amazing, if not to say fantastic.

its also a film about aging, being treated like a burden and showstopper. its an anti labourunion flick, not with big demonstrations, but at the individual level. what a contract can be worth is easy to see by watching the aerialist.

its also a film about occupational injuries, and painfull bodies that often accompanies a life in sports and arts like dancing , ballets, gymnastics and acrobatics(and even in medical nursing) to mention some.

its not a film for the big crowds thinks the grumpy old man, its too slow and specialized to become a block buster, but to all of you with a hang to the subject, have a look, its a marvel of bodily arts

I loved this movie. The true artistry in the story telling, acting, and physicality is apparent throughout the film. The lives of the characters were so complex and interesting and absolutely glued me to the film. It touches on so many topics in the field of aerial performance, the business of the industry, aging, injury, and what it means to be family, written and performed by people with extensive experience in these areas. The ending is so touching and surprising, it will leave you feeling warm and appreciative of those around you. There is something in this movie for everyone. Watch it!
